Nothing like this has ever happened in the history or modern football. No football club has had to deal with a situation like this. Would any football club deal with the situation differently, we don’t know is the answer.
Agreed, we all hope the club have covered themselves with appropriate insurance etc. and that the cover is valid and all paperwork is in order I don`t want to see the club lose a huge amount of money under these tragic circumstances and they won`t if all is in place will they ?
We can`t know what`s really going on in the background but I would like to think if Warnock is saying in public "my player", he is wise enough and confident enough to say it on the back of being aware of more of the facts surrounding this situation.
You must be confusing football message boards with something else. They only exist for fans opinions, guesswork and speculation. Nothing more nothing less.
In most cases, football message boards are only visited by a very small percentage of a clubs fanbase. The majority of our fans probably don’t know this board even exists, or if they do they are not the slightest bit interested in contributing.
The majority just wants to watch the team play, then go home and get on with their lives.
The only thing they’ll know about the Sala situation or any other bit of City business is what they see in the news.
My view wouldn’t be any different because i don’t let bias affect my opinions on the club. I think the club for once have handled the human side of this perfect.
You cannot blame a business for wanting to make everything is correct before giving away £15 million.
This is getting farcical.
Potentially turning any goodwill we had against us.
I know it's a business but for me a football club is far more than that, there's an emotional attachment that people have to it and as such it isn't unreasonable to do things differently than some faceless corporation would.
If a question is asked and thif club refuse to answer then the story will be skewed against them.
They can’t win.
Especially when many people can’t wait for them to fail and are happy to make a judgement on an unprecedented issue without even a fraction of the relevant information to hand.
It’ll get sorted one way or another in time, and by people far better informed and qualified to make judgements than any of us on here.
At the end of the day the crucial question is......Did the Premier League register him as a player?. If NOT, then there is no fee to pay. IF YES....agents involvement, talking up the transfer fee, the agents chartering the plane etc is irrelevent.....CCFS have to pay. I suspiect that the club had not yet placed him under an insurance policy.....Q did Nantes still have him insured?? If so whether he had left the club is also irrelvent.....one can insure anyone until cancelled.
MY take on this is that the cost should be split 50/50 with Nantes.
Yes politics aside its sports coverage and quality has always been very good ,they done nice TV supplement as well on a Saturday ,which I usually steal from pubs or coffee shops as I cant ring myself to buy it .
Strangely the Mirror ran this report , with the mailonline link embedded within the Mirrors article .
City looking to sue Willie McKay as well it seems.
